Pietro is from some Eastern European country; records are a little vague on the matter, but does speak of Iron Curtain sort of country. He's quick, and he has a twin sister.

Nothing about QS is secret. (Yet.)

Raised as Roma, Pietro was instilled with the need to always keep moving, never set any roots anywhere, which suited him when his mutant skill manifested itself. When discovered his ability, he became impossible. A whole world opened up for him, though a good deal of that some would call the using of his abilities 'crime'. As in petty theft, burglary, pickpocketing, even assault. Eventually he found that even the roving Roma life was too slow, to staid for his liking, and he took the opportunity to leave when local villagers attacked their camp over a couple of bits of food. Pfft. He left and never looked back. Not really.

Travelling the world, Pietro has been able to keep one step ahead of problems (Hee.. get it? One step ahead?), and has never truly found another place to call 'home'. Home is where his twin sister is, as far as he's concerned. Beyond that? Not even a roof over his head is necessary for him. A room, an apartment, a house would be a luxury.

SpeedPietro has the mutant ability to run at supersonic speeds up to about Mach 10. Of course, to attain this, he is able to resist the effects of friction, reduced oxygen and kinetic impacts while moving at such speeds. This also allows him to create cyclone-strength winds, or run up walls or across bodies of water.

PhysiologyPietro has a quick metabolism born of his speedster mutation. (This, of course, means he needs to be eating almost constantly. Because of his speed, he has a photographic short term memory, which allows him to move and know where it is he's going, and to see what it is that is happening as he moves. His agility and reflexes match his speed; he can turn on a dime and give out 9 cents in change.

Unarmed CombatPietro has learned how to fight, but he doesn't really fight with weapons. Why should he when he can run faster than a bullet? He uses his speed with his ability for fisticuffs, and it usually works out okay for him. He's learned on his own, fighting in the street, brawling… and along the way, he has gotten beaten up! It just doesn't happen quite as often anymore.

EnglishPietro is from Eastern Europe. His command of the English language isn't complete, and as a result, his words are accented and there are times when he simply doesn't come up with the correct word for the moment. He's not the most literate in the language either; it takes him a little while to come up with the meaning because he works in a completely different alphabet (Cyrillic).

SurvivalWhile he didn't get an 'institutional' education, Pietro certainly does know his way around plants, animals, and how to survive when he's got 'nothing'. He knows what to eat, how to prepare basic stuffs, etc.

MoneyPietro isn't a slouch on attaining money, so he doesn't starve. He can purchase what he requires (when the mood strikes him to actually buy it rather than steal it. But then again, he'd be stealing the money used to buy the item(s) anyway!)

World TravelerPietro has seen a great deal of the world and knows how to move through it effectively. He's comfortable virtually everywhere and manages to find the little things, the ins and outs of where ever he may be.

MutantPietro is a mutant. He came into his own during that march towards puberty, and like a growing young man, his mind went to how he could use it to benefit himself and

CriminalPietro undoubtedly began his life of 'crime' long before he came into his own; Roma really enjoy getting something for nothing and 'putting one over' on others to their benefit. As a result, this really is a 'way of life' for him.

HomelessPietro truly is homeless. He moves from place to place, relying upon the kindnesses of others, should he choose to accept it. Otherwise, he's squatting in apartments, hotel rooms, abandoned stores, warehouses… which suit him.

SpeedAs a result of his speed, the rest of the world seem as if it's moving at the speed of a geriatric with a walker. Time, while not sped up per se, does have a slightly different hold on him. This can make him sullen, annoyed and most of all, impatient.

Institutionally UneducatedAs a Roma, Pietro really didn't attend school as the world knows it. He was homeschooled in a Roma camp.

An accident at Sunset Cafe brings the promise of meeting later for Pietro and Evelyn (Serenity) and leaves the latter to meet and, try desperately!, to avoid questions by Sebation Gilberti (who she calls Agent) and Darcy Lewis (who is now known as Girlfriend).
